If Freo were so keen on Jackson and from years out - they should have prepared themselves to get him. We should tell LJ that Freo are unwilling to put together a package and it’s WCE or you’re coming back to Melbourne for a year. Not ideal for us, but two mid teen picks is just a terrible return.

I think Flash has already learned something…

Woey is on a wing, Chandler into the middle and forward where he is a chance in the AFL, Bedford and Laurie the same, JVR as CHF and occasional ruck. I don’t know what you are talking about.

That’s a good way to put it

And his wage? He’s a good player with a neat kick and a desire to engage in chains up the ground. Would love to know whether his mindset is of someone who is better off outside footy.

What’s the price? And how’s he travelling; a fresh start is needed but also, sometimes footy isn’t everything…

Harmes wants to play midfield and doesn’t like playing elsewhere. Similar to Brayshaw EXCEPT that Angus can play anywhere and excel whereas James just doesn’t excel anywhere other than in the middle. I have also heard he does not cope well when not in the middle either. that isn’t a condemnation of a solid Demon and someone who will always have a place in shared memory of our drought breaking flag. If this does happen, this is how you get younger players through the team which was a large criticism from some. I won’t like to see him go but if the deal is right - this is what good teams do.

Hunt and Frost were two of your fav players?? Whats your favourite stat? Clangers? Watching the footy must have been an act masochism for you. You would have loved the Neeld Era; we couldn’t hit a target… And so forth…

They will never agree that - that’s laughable. Two top 4 picks and one on the 20s. They are in it as much to say that they will take him in the PSD if he is there I reckon.

Your second paragraph assumes your first paragraph hypothesis is wrong. It’s a risk or it’s not. Its a risk and I hope it gets Freo to give up something of value.

Well, you could care less

This is specious reasoning. What are the probabilities of a player of that calibre that late in the draft? Less than 1%. Getting picks ‘right’ in the top 15 means stars, 200 gamers or greats of the game. We have a few we prepared earlier… Getting the picks 50+ ‘right’ means role players, 50 gamers, and projects that dont go anywhere. Your frustration is misplaced, literally in random threads, and in reality.

After North loses a kid from interstate they are not going to take another ‘wantaway’ player in the PSD. The only leverage we have is with WCE being in the race for him. But that comes with the not insignificant chance of us getting nothing for him. We are going to settle for less than market because Freo just won’t be able to get near market for him.

Prepare to not be stoked

There are two arguments in this ‘Toby Bedford is off’ thread about Geelong so I’m gonna pass. … We were banged up, and comparing role players is pointless. Ok, now I’m gone.

Yes it does. And I am sure ‘three-peats’ are much easier when you create a culture that family is to be diminished and all of life outside football are considered distractions to avoid. I can now get my head around how that ‘culture’ can be then applied to the indigenous experience with appalling consequences. Starting to see they treated everyone the same… Family club hey…

Hang on… Did your second paragraph just condemn your first paragraph? Its that kind of efficient self-owning that I have come to appreciate. Kudos!

I can see why Hibberd and Melksham are getting another year with Hunt and Bedford on the way out.

Yes, constructing a forward line with Gawn as FF makes this need for a tall forward mooter by the day. Gawn, Fritsch, TMac, Kozzie, and a mid rotation are locks for the 7 on game day IMO. I honestly don’t know if the ROI is there with available options to upgrade on JVR or Brown - fit next to Gawn the next few years is crucial. If it’s not an amazing forward, it might just clog us up. And as boring as it sounds - what’s more important is our ball movement and pressure. We might be better off smaller… Intriguing situation.

That is a shame. I think he has a future and to get him through the our academy and now he wants out. We can say no but you’d only do that if we see him in the best 22. If he is requesting perhaps we have said that he isn’t.

Oh I know. Its fantastic. And with Yze not there I can actively root for their failure. Hell, with a Scott in there I might get my voodoo dolls out

Yeah, he puts in a lot of effort

The servers will be down let me assure you. We will bring the WHOLE. DAMN. CLOUD. DOWN. @Nasherwont know what hit him.

Yeah but how is Taylor going with picks in the 50s!! That’s where the real mettle grumble grumble fart!1!1

Look, for the last time, Jayden is sorry for running over your pet turtle. Just gotta move on.
